10 Most Patriotic WWE Moments
8. John Cena’s WrestleMania 31 Entrance
After
U.S. Champion Rusev entered Levi’s Stadium in an army tank, it was nearly
impossible for John Cena to top that entrance. So instead of over-the-top
pageantry, Cena went the simplistic route – a video package celebrating
America.
Of
course, this was a WWE production, so it deserved an Emmy. Historic soundbites
from former presidents about the American Dream and productivity interspersed
with visuals of post-9/11 recovery and the moon landing. Ronald Reagan and
George W. Bush commended the nation’s military as heroes with unshakable
resolve, determined to overcome all enemies. It was a stirring warm-up to
Cena’s arrival, and probably inspired a few fans to enlist.
